PLAYER HANDOUT 1: TURN IN BRIEF
Each day of the expedition consists of four phases. Start by rolling 1d10, and add your armys
Speed and your Charisma modifier to the result. This result is used like initiative to determine
turn order.
Movement Phase: Move your army a number of hexes up to its Speed score. If you landed in
an enemy armys hex, combat begins at the end of this phase. Otherwise, youre done for the day.
Tactics Phase: Choose one of the tactics available to your army. This modifies your armys
stats and performance.
Ranged Phase: Armies with ranged attacks can make a single attack before the opposing
armies meet in melee.
Melee Phase: The armies meet in melee. Choose one of the five strategies to modify your
armys stats, then make an attack against one enemy army. Each turn you can change your
strategy by one step (such as standard to aggressive) for free or by more than one step with a DC
20 Morale check. You can also change your tactics with a DC 15 Morale check. The melee phase
repeats until one side is defeated or has withdrawn.
Special: You can opt for your army to rest instead of moving for one day. If you do, the army
recovers a number of hp equal to its ACR.

PLAYER HANDOUT 2: TACTICS
There are five possible strategies that an army can use when it begins the melee phase. Strategies
adjust the armys DV, OM, and how much damage it deals.
Strategy DV OM
Defensive +4 4
Cautious +2 2
Standard +0 +0
Aggressive 2 +2
Reckless 4 +4
During the Tactics Phase, choose one tactic for your army to use. The army must already
know the tactic. This is a summary of the tactics available to armies in this scenario. Complete
descriptions are on pages 237238 of Pathfinder RPG Ultimate Campaign.
Cautious Combat: Decrease the armys OM by 2, and add 2 to all its Morale checks.
Cavalry Experts: Your armys OM increases by 2 against armies that arent mounted.
Defensive Wall: Decrease the armys OM by 2, and increase its DV by 2.
Dirty Fighters: For one Melee phase this battle, the armys OM increases by 6. (After that
Melee phase, the opposing army knows to be ready for such tricks.)
Expert Flankers: Increase the armys OM by 2, and decrease its DV by 2.
False Retreat: Once per battle, your army can make a false retreat. This turn it doesnt attempt
an Offense check, but the next turn, increase its OM and DV by 6 against the target army.
Full Defense: Increase the armys DV by 4, and decrease its OM by 4.
8782550
Relentless Brutality: Increase the armys OM by 4, and decrease its DV by 4. 1240365
Siegebreaker: If your army damages the target army, your army attempts a second Offense
check; if successful, destroy one of the targets siege engines. This tactic has no effect on enemy
armies without siege engines.
Sniper Support: If your army damages the target army in the Melee phase, it deals 2 additional
points of damage from extra ranged attacks. The army must have ranged attacks to use this tactic.
Spellbreaker: Increase the armys DV by 4 against armies with the spellcasting ability.
Standard*: Your armys attacks have no additional modifiers to its OM, DV, or damage.
Taunt: One enemy army must attempt a Morale check (DC = 10 + your armys ACR) at
the start of each Melee or Ranged phase; failure means it reduces its OM and DV against your
army by 2 for that phase. If the target army succeeds at two of these Morale checks, its immune
to this tactic for the remainder of the battle.
Withdraw*: Your army tries to escape from all armies attacking it. The army attempts an
opposed Morale check against each army attacking it to maintain discipline (any army may
voluntarily fail this check), but doesnt need to attempt the usual Morale check to change tactics
when switching to withdraw. If all of these checks are successful, your army may withdraw
from the battlefield or treat the phase as a Ranged phase. If only some are successful, you may
withdraw or treat the phase as a Ranged phase, but enemy armies in the battle may attack you
as if you were in Melee. Whether or not the checks are successful, reduce your armys OM and
DV by 2 for the rest of this phase.

PLAYER HANDOUT 3: ABILITIES

Special Abilities represent individual training (class abilities) or special properties available to a
specific type of creature. Modifiers for these abilities apply only if most of the units in an army
have the listed ability. Any abilities that increase the stats of an army are already included in the
army profile. Situational increases are not included.
Armor Training: This class feature adjusts the base speed of units in medium armor; adjust
the armys speed accordingly.
Bleed: When this army deals damage in melee, the target army takes an automatic 1d6 points
of damage at the start of the next phase.
Bravery: Apply the units bravery bonus on Morale checks against fear and routs.
Challenge: Once per battle, the army may increase its OM by 2 against a target army, but it
also reduces its DV by 1 against attacks from any army that is not the target army. These effects
last for the rest of the battle.
Channel Positive Energy: In the Melee phase, the army deals +1d4 points of damage against
an undead target army. Instead of dealing extra damage to an enemy army, the army can use this
ability to heal itself; if it takes an OM penalty equal to half its ACR for one Ranged or Melee
phase, it heals a number of hit points equal to its ACR.
Combat Style: Once per battle, increase the armys OM for either ranged attacks or melee
attacks by 1 for the rest of the battle.
Construct: The army is immune to disease, fear, paralysis, and poison.
Darkvision: The army takes no OM or DV penalties in dim light or darkness.
Evasion: An army that attacks this army halves its OM bonus from the spellcasting ability
8782551
and halves the extra damage from the breath weapon ability. 1240366
Favored Enemy: The army increases its OM by 1 against an army of a type of creature chosen
from the ranger favored enemy list.
Favored Terrain: Reduce an enemys bonuses from advantageous terrain and battlefield
advantage by half.
Fear: If the army damages an enemy army, that army must attempt a Morale check (DC =
10 + your armys ACR). Failure means the enemy army is afraid and cant attempt an Offense
check to attack during the next phase. If an army fails a Morale check during a phase in which
it is already afraid, it routs.
Immunity: If an army is immune to a particular special ability (such as poison), an enemy
army with that ability doesnt gain those benefits against this army. For an army with many
immunities, also see significant defense.
Inspire Courage: The army increases its OM by 1 and gains a +2 bonus on Morale checks
against fear and routs. Alternatively, the army may apply these bonuses to an allied army in the
same battle.
Low-light Vision: The army takes no penalties for dim light.
Mount: The armys mounts increase the armys OM and DV by 1.
Order: When using the challenge ability, increase the armys DV by 1 against the challenged army.
Powerful Charge: The army increases its OM by 1.
Rage: Once per battle, the commander may order the army to rage. Increase the armys OM by
2, decrease its DV by 1, and add a +1 bonus on its Morale checks against fear and routing. While
this is in effect, the army cant use the tactics cautious combat, defensive wall, expert flankers, hold
the line, sniper support, or withdraw; nor can it use the defensive or cautious strategies. If using
29
8782551
1240367
1240367
PLAYER HANDOUT 4: ABILITIES (CONTINUED)

such a tactic or strategy, you immediately switch to the standard tactic or strategy.
Significant Defense: The army has a significant defense such as powerful damage reduction
or numerous immunities and/or resistances. Increase its DV by the listed amount against any
army that does not have a special ability of the listed type, such as cold iron weapons or acid. This
ability is slightly different than the ability of the same name found in Pathfinder RPG Ultimate
Campaign.
Sneak Attack: The army increases its OM by 1 when making an ambush, when using the
expert flankers tactic, or on the phase after using the false retreat tactic.
Spellcasting: If an armys units can use magic (from either spell-like abilities or actual
spellcasting), increase its OM and DV by the spell level of the highest-level spell the individual
unit can cast. If any of the armys offensive spells has a range greater than touch, the army can
make ranged attacks.
Tactician: The army automatically learns one tactic (usually the cavalry experts tactic); this
doesnt count toward an armys maximum number of known tactics.
Trample: The army increases its OM by 1.
Trap Sense: When using the siegebreaker tactic, the army adds half its ACR to the Offense
check to determine if a siege engine is destroyed.
Weapon Specialization: Once per battle, increase the armys OM for either ranged or melee
attacks by 2.
